    INCREDIBLE place. I did a 3-day yoga retreat and could say so many positive things about it. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, the yoga classes are well-paced and meaningful, the staff are SO helpful and kind, the food is healthy and extremely delicious, the other guests were friendly and open, and the experience was genuinely impactful. My only regret was not staying much longer!

    Hinterland is a very special place with the best energy, the nicest people, most amazing only local grown & cooked food, great yoga & meditation classes, massages, everything. I came as a hurry hurry person, I left as a happy, slowed down, mindful and well fed person, who sees value in doing things slow and properly, with a clear mind. I came for 10 days, spent 14. The owner and the man behind it all, Unni, is a super nice genuine warm hearted guy, who has talent surrounding himself with kind hardworking people, the dogs (like Janu, who is the happiest doggie I've ever met ), Swami the best yoga teacher I ever had, Shiva the deaf mute gardener who is just as super happy as Janu the dog , and all the staff in Hinterland ️. I came for piece on my mind, to slow down, get off my crazy fast brain and just enjoy greenery, farm, rice paddies, sunrises during yoga morning classes and sunsets from the tree house. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place to every one of my friends and family. There were guests from all age groups up to 72 years old, who could even do headstands . It was lovely meeting other yoga retreat participants, sometimes sooo inspiring, like the elderly who are so fit and healthy . Regardless of age, the classes were suitable for beginners & intermediate yoga practitioners ‍️. I will never forget my stay. This will definitely not be my last time visiting Hinterland ️.

    Hinterland Village is an incredibly magical place. I booked a two week retreat here and am so grateful that I did. I was so well looked after by Unni and all the staff (and other guests), I felt welcomed and so at home. The twice daily yoga sessions made me strong and present, and there a lots of other things to do daily like meditation classes, philosophy classes, pool swims, nature walks, and cooking demonstrations. The food was amazing!! The grounds are so clean and peaceful and filled with animals, and you could hear prayers from the local church which made it even more special. I made lifelong friends here and I will definitely be coming back whenever I can. I don’t see any need to try out other retreats because I’ve found the perfect one. It is also very reasonably priced considering all the value you get. I got so much out of my two weeks at Hinterland, and am so grateful for the special time I spent there.

    This is a magical place! From the moment i arrived here, till the moment i left... i just loved every minute of it. I stayed here for about 2 weeks. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks were gorgious and off course vegetarian. Everything was made fresh and with love. The also grow there own fruit and veggies here. The Yogapractices were beautifull and i enjoyed it so much! Also the guided meditation every day was beautifull. I also had several different kind of massages and each were so nice! I so recommand this place, if you want peace and quietness, to become one with yourself and nature, this is the place to be. I can't wait to come back here! You truly become a new person here.

    We were so relieved to find an ayurvedic yoga resort where families are welcome. Unni and his skillful and loving team made us feel beyond welcome. We enjoyed healthy meals, dietary supplements according to personal needs and a good daily schedule of yoga, massages, philosophy and meditation. The view on their own rice paddy is wonderful. Our daughter particularly loved the farm (that was all around us) with organic fruits, veggies, herbs and spices. Beyond that Unni built a wonderful playground where we spend time with other kids and felt like one big family. We recommend people to stay 1,5-2 weeks if your busy schedules allow you to soak up some good vibes in Hinterland. The pool is nice, the bikes are good to have a ride around town, plenty of books and always great conversations with other guests or staff. Everything is taken care of and at great value for money.

    I spent ten days at Hinterland Village and I was so well looked after. Nothing was too much for Unni and the team. There was such attention to detail throughout my entire stay. Everything was very well organised and it was almost ‘too easy’ as I didn’t have to think about anything. The food was amazing, so tasty and a good variety was offered. It was bursting with flavours and it was so fresh and healthy. The meditation classes and the massages were a lovely addition to my stay. I would highly recommend a stay at Hinterland where you are cared for from pick up to drop off. They even assist you in organsing day trips out, so there is a huge variety of activities. Thank you all at Hinterland!

    I have been to Hinterland Village quite some time ago (Nov 22), but still having so many good memories from it!! Unni and his team is absolutely amazing and everything at this place just feels like home! I am so thankful for this experience and all the lovely people i met! Definitely coming back anytime in the future and i can totally recommend staying in Hinterland Village🥰

    This is the most amazing retreat EVER. The staff is just lovely and Unni (the owner) takes personal care of every single person in the retreat. The food is absolutely amazing and healthy, no oily or fatty stuff. The yoga place is just beautiful and ypu do your class looking at the beautiful rice field they have. The yoga teachers change every couple of days so uou never get bored. They do laundry every day and even come wake you up and bring umbrellas whenver it rains. Most importantly: Unni healed my vonstipation problems (have been dealing with this for 2 years almost). Definitely recommended

    Coming here was by far the best decision I have ever made. Not only is there an amazing atmosphere, but the food is out of this world, and not to mention the fact that they hardly repeat dishes so you are always trying new and tasty things, but the yoga and philosophy classes are so beautifully led and the best part of it all, is all the amazing staff. Special appreciation to Unni, he truly does everything and anything to go above and beyond in order to ensure everyone is taken care of. My life truly feels changed after coming to this magical place, I will most certainly be coming back here at least annually!!! I cannot reccomend this enough, if you are considering this as an option for you, do it! It truly will change your life. Thank you Unni, and thank you everyone at Hinterland for making me feel so at home, cared for and loved! <3

    We did a yoga retreat for 4 days and it was amazing! All staff were great and the food was amazing. It's unfair that the pictures don't allow you to fully capture the beauty of the place. Yoga lessons are intensive but well planned Still, be careful with the headstands if you never have done before.

    Hinterland Village was a super experience to enjoy myself and get to know people with the same mindset. The owner Unni is super nice and arranges everything so all the guess feel comfortable and at home during the stay. This is a retreat where you will have yoga, meditation, ayurvedic/vegetarian (or vegan) food and visit from a doctor. Also yoga filosofy class with a Yogui who will help you see the world with new eyes. With my friend we were supposed to stay only 4 days, we ended staying for 6. Ill be definitely coming back in some years.

    Disappointed. Excepting the good yoga and meditation classes the center has an overall mediocre vibe with a touch of negativity. Not worth paying for it.

  • 5/5 Jalmar G. 1 year ago on Google
    What can I say, where should I start? Yoga, food, philosophy, meditation and staff. Yoga: the traditional yoga what is teached by multiple teachers with each their own unique style. It’s suitable all levels of experience. But they don’t approach yoga with skill levels. It’s approached to let you go inwards and feel what yoga does with your body. The teacher are very kind, helpful and professional. Food: healthy, organic, fresh, with care prepared, and just beyond anything I’ve eaten before. The perfect light digestible incredible tasteful food is the best in india in my opinion. Philosophy. The philosophy classes are given by two of the teachers and giving a in depth enough basic intro to yoga. Meditation: good guided meditation. Not too long not too short! Perfect. The staff is just wonderful. From owner to chef kitchen to housekeeping, they are very kind and helpful. They make you feel so home and you don’t have to think about anything but just be present. Overall the atmosphere created by the staff and surrounding is wonderful. Originally I booked 6 days but I stayed 13 days in the end. I’ve met beautiful people and started friendships for life, I’m pretty sure of that. Oh, and the Price/quality is bit out of balance. Luckily in your favor… I will come back, that’s for sure.

    I can’t recommend this place enough. We stayed a week & I didn’t want to leave. Unni is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Utterly delicious food. Wonderful yoga. Heaven!

  • 5/5 Dawn M. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. Full sustainable, so go ahead and enjoy the pool and baths guilt free—every drop of water is recycled. The food is fantastic, the setting is serene, the staff are friendly and warm. The yogis and massage therapists are excellent. Just bring your insect repellent and you’ll be very happy here.

    Hinterland village was an amazing experience. The philosophy and meditation classes are wonderful and especially the morning and evening yoga classes are so nice. The teachers change almost daily and they manage to keep all levels satisfied. Also the massage was very relaxing and Unni is a wonderful host and makes sure to personally set up your schedule every single day. Not to forget - the food is delicious!

    First workation experience, and it go perfectly well and fantastic. Stayed here for 3 days and the experience was wonderful. They offer yoga trainings and ayurvedic doctor consultation with lifestyle advices. Food is only vegetarian but I never felt vegetarian food this tasty. Stay here made me realize that one can survive with vegetatian food 😋. All staffs are really friendly and they are a call away for any assistance. The owner of this property hosted us pretty well, Thanks to Unni sir for same. You can expect a place which will make you feel at home. It is a place which is beautifully designed and kept and was a delight to stay in. Would highly recommend the stay at this place. And you get exactly what you see in the pictures.

    Hinterland Village is all about nature, good food and amazing people! I went there on their workation package which is specifically catered to meet the needs of working from home individuals. During my stay, this place let me try so many different things beyond my work especially Yoga to recharge and discover the self, cycling (something that I enjoyed a lot during my childhood!), healthy food mostly sourced from their own farm, the pool to escape from the summers in the afternoon and the lovely animals that get along and cheer up you in every possible way! It's an absolute paradise for those who love nature, but lost in touch because of the work schedule or for any other reason. Everyone you see here work and collaborate like family members and you never feel like you're away from home. Just the happy faces you see here speak volumes about the way how this place works. The owner Mr. Unni is kind enough to address any issues you may face while you are there. I had a short stint here because of the travel plans and will definitely come back here for more!

    There is no way to describe the harmony and bliss of this place ! Every little detail is amazing from Unnis vision, to the tree art, massages by Hari, yoga and meditation by Jayesh, and the team. Food is outstanding and fresh, juices and herbal teas to rejuvenate you. And a walk with Unni and Aloki showcasing all the sustainability projects is the icing on the cake :). Hope I will be back every year and more of us from this country can learn to enjoy the extraordinary joys of Hinterland. Seeing all the five stars I almost thought this was fake, but so glad some things in life are so genuine. Wishing everyone much equanimity in 2022 !
